28.10.1997 - Interpretation of dali48

Everything depends on our inner self-realization - A wise man will see "Nirvana" immediately in the ordinary things of everyday life - A fool will philosophize about it and think it is something else, something special - But an old pine preaches wisdom, and a wild bird chirps the truth...
Bodhidharma's influence was not based on what he was doing, but on what he was - And in none of the conversations with his disciples handed down to us, he makes a statement about his teaching - The truth was that Bodhidharma's wisdom could only be transmitted to a person which was prepared for it - Only those who so much demanded that they were willing to give everything like Shang Kwang could understand it - For the rest it was nonsense - Perhaps the secret of the Zen humor and the Tao was that neither Zen nor Taoism took the objective world particularly seriously - They made fun of the clumsy understanding and of all kinds of formality and solemnity - The spirit lacks any weight, any gravity, and any seriousness! - Drudgery and suffering are only judged by the flesh, by passion, and man knows pain and suffering only as a sentient and emotional being! - Scriptures and teachings were good as long as they were seen as mere tools - And the Zen master compared them with a finger pointing to the moon - A fool is who holds the finger for the moon! - Zen renounced external supports of religion - since such are capable of misleading the people... (A. Watts)

26.10.1997 - Interpretation of dali48

A Zen-monk should be in the world, though not of her: an unnamed power for enlightenment, in society, and being effective by this - If he is at all lonely, then in the sense of that loneliness which is inevitably associated with a high wisdom! - He can not separate himself from other beings, for in every creature he sees his other ego - If, therefore, there is any separation, then only because of the barrier which others build against him - for fear of his wisdom or indifference towards it - It is not the selfish isolation of the hermit who tries to obtain spiritual freedom through physical freedom, for the Bodhisattva knows that the two are independent of each other - A man may be free to travel wherever he pleases, yet there is no place on earth where he can escape his own karma... - And whether he lives on a mountain or in a great city, he can always and everywhere be the victim of an uncontrolled thought - For man's "karma", like his shadow, continues with him, and indeed it is his shadow - because it is said, "Man blocks himself the light, and is astonished that it is so dark"...
Zen master to the warden: "Beware of thinking low of this one rice-grain, because 100,000 of the grains go out of it!"... - For the last fifty years, we have experienced how natural science was misused for all sorts of pernicious, immoral, and antisocial things - For Zen, stiffness and symmetry were unnatural and dead, too perfect to allow for growth and change!... - Just as it is impossible to describe to a blind one from birth the splendor of the sunset - It is not possible to find words that could express the wisdom to men of lesser insight!... - And after finding it, what a word he should send out of heights, where the vehicle of speech does not find a track in order to roll on it? - For this reason, keep silence to the interrogators - silence, and one finger which is pointing the way - There is nothing "beyond" in Zen - For this is a perpetual mental attitude which is equally applicable to the washing of clothes - and to the performance of religious duties...
